    so let me see if i follow the logic here.

    if you have a lot of wankers in your economy, you’re more likely to have a high number of starbucks to cater to them.

    we have many starbucks, therefore we have many wankers, therefore we’re stuffed.

    the obvious solution is to invade kenya. it’s their fault we all drink coffee.

    I was pretty surprised how many we have relative to other countries. maybe it is a good indicator of dumb consumer spending.

    Or maybe an indicator of the penetration of american investment into a country?

    Definitely as far as coffee retailing goes, although given New Zealand’s biggest foreign investors we should be dominated by Hudsons Coffee – http://www.hudsonscoffee.com.au/.
